Infection is increasing throughout the region, and all age groups are affected.
- That we now see such a sharp increase in the number of cases and that the number of admitted patients has increased in the past week is very worrying, says infection control doctor Eva Melander in a press release.
Mouthguards should be used
- It is high time that we all help each other so that the situation does not worsen further.
Working more at home is a good way to reduce the risk of exposing yourself or others to the risk of infection.
Every employer should expand the opportunities to work at home for the employees who can do it, says Eva Melander.
As a direct measure to stop the spread of infection, Region Skåne has decided that healthcare professionals should use mouth guards in all facial care.
